Arbiter Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 The topic about RItalin as been posted twice on other website and articles such as in this article http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/05/a-trip-that-lasts-forever.html it states 'According to some scientists, most psychoactive drugs, including psychiatric medications, can alter the brain’s neural structure' And http://amrglobal.powweb.com/hallucinogen-persisting-perception-disorder in the comments section on August 13th, 2009 asking Dr Arbraham whether he thinks Ritalin is the 'Gateway Drug' to HPPD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puppeteer Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 At one point when I was naively downplaying the role drugs might've had in my ever-worsening state of mental illness, I self-diagnosed with inattentive-ADHD (great idea, I know) and tried out some Ritalin a friend gave to me for a couple of months - 5mg, twice a day. My HPPD did get significantly worse around that time or shortly after but I'm pretty hazy as to what other stuff I was using so I'm not sure if the Ritalin played much of a role. It definitely didn't help me all that much though, and I wish I'd stayed away from it :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbiter Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah, I have been snorting Ritalin a few months ago. It did make my symptoms worse and I was starting to get to the stage where I was almost fully recovered but Ritalin worse my visions again. BTW I'm more talking about have you tried Ritalin or another ADD drug before you got HPPD from another substance. I'm not doctor but I think these types of meds play apart in triggering HPPD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
